Speakers and programs are designed to encourage and educate homeschooling parents.  The meetings are generally held on the fourth Thursday of each month from 7:00-8:30 PM at Hunter's Glen Baptist Church is located on 4001 Custer Road in Plano, north of Parker and south of Spring Creek.  Click Here for Map to Hunter's Glen Baptist Church.

PEACH publishes a monthly e-newsletter. PEACH Buzz keeps our members up-to-date with field trips, activities, opportunities for service and homeschooling in the news, as well as accepting articles and ads from our members. 

PEACH Flashes are sent out via email to  provide information, recommendations, and items of interest to our PEACH Members.  These are sent out as needed, usually one email per week. 

PEACH publishes a member directory. In addition to names, addresses and phone numbers, the directory provides information on ages of children, curriculum in use, and family interests and hobbies. Members only.

PEACH members are involved in weekly and monthly group activities. These activities include field trips, gymnastics classes, roller-skating, ice-skating, and bowling. We also have "Park Days" in Plano for more fellowship and fun.


PEACH members are entitled to a discount when they join the Home School Legal Defense Association or Texas Home School Coalition . We encourage our members to join one or both of these organizations, which provide legal advocacy and support for homeschooling families in Texas and throughout the nation. See our Resources/Link page for more information.


PEACH makes other homeschooling resources available to its members. For example, we keep current editions of the Texas Home School Coalition Handbook for purchase. THSC monitors government policies and activities in Austin, and they publish a Handbook every year, covering homeschooling in Texas.


PEACH sponsors a Used Book Sale in the late spring. We also facilitate the opportunity to buy, sell, or trade curriculum between members at other times of the year, through our e-newsletter and bi-monthly meetings.
